Eppendorf solution for MALDI-TOF analyses

Eppendorf
18 Jul 2023

In this application note, Eppendorf highlights the importance of considering leachables in MALDI-TOF analyses using pipette tips made of polypropylene. These leachables, such as biocides and plasticizers, can significantly impact results without users being aware of it. Leachables may produce abnormal peaks or overlay the actual signal, and evidence suggests a cumulative effect occurs with pipette tips. Eppendorf emphasizes the need for liquid handling systems with chemical-resistant materials to ensure analysis accuracy and recommends tips free from dispensable additives. It also offers various liquid handling products with advanced chemical resistance and solutions to prevent contamination and enhance decontamination processes for successful MALDI-TOF analyses.

MALDI-TOF MSMALDI-TOF mass spectrometers (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight) are used for the mass analysis of large molecules, including proteins, DNA, polymers and other macromolecules due to its relatively soft ionization, reducing fragmentation whilst allowing fast data acquisition. Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis.
